Selling them I assume. There are a lot of shops here stocking millions of the same product, without ever cleaning any of it, so everything just starts to rot.Originally Posted by Darakian
Don't those planes need a lot of space for the refueling? I should really go to an airshow some day.

Great shots everyone!
Oh yea. I think this was more a coupling/de-coupling demonstration. If they actually refuelled they'd be flying straight for a good while.
Speaking of air show, here's my last entry from the air show...
Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
Last, but certainly not least is my favorite aircraft of the day - and in our country's arsenal. This, even more so than the Osprey, is the most incredibly complicated aircraft, probably in the world. Capable of both supersonic flight, vertical takeoff & landing and literally hovering in place.
Here it is in formation with the aforementioned F/A-18 Hornet (bottom) & Harrier Jump Jet (top).

...and here it is all by its beautiful lonesome.

It can fly low & slow...

...or stop & pause for photos. It was moving the nose left & right, just hovering there in what I'm sure is an incredibly difficult maneuver for the pilot.

Well, that's all from MCAS Cherry Point. Thanks for looking, C&C is always welcome, especially since it's my first time capturing this kind of stuff.
...later!
